‘The National Roll of the Great War 1914-1918′ is a series of 14 volumes published after the war. Each volume contains brief biographies of (some of) the men and women from a particular region who took part in the war. You can find some more information about the publication on the websites listed below where you can also search an online database of all the volumes. I cannot say anything about the potential value of your book – if you want to know I suggest you ask someone dealing in rare books.
